    I am catching up with you all but as mine is a static build, I obviously don’t have the waterproofing and ballasting issues. As I mentioned before I am a relative novice builder and this is my first non-timber finished hull. I found the Eze-Kote an excellent way of getting a smooth finish, albeit not one I had to make watertight. As also previously mentioned, this is not a kit for a beginner and is a bit like being given a box full of unlabelled parts and picture of a clock and being tasked with building a time piece. That said it is a well made kit, with high quality parts and I am actually liking the challenge. The helpful advice on this build log has been excellent. Thanks - I am sure I will need more help going forward.

    I am relatively new to ship modelling. The Nordkap is only my 6th build after a simple Corel sloop, Amarti Fyfie, Occre’s Endeavour and Endurance and Vanguard’s model HMS Sphinx. Many of the above had brilliant instruction booklets; the Occre kits supported by really good video clips to access. As a note to anyone at my stage things of the Nordkap, Billing’s level of instruction is very different and very very basic. Thank heavens for all the advice in this forum helping me through. I chose this build to have a change from endless cannons, lanyards and ratlines. I am really enjoying the challenge but am so grateful for this site. Keep up the good work.

    Hi, I have just bought the kit (as a static build) and I am really looking forward to “hanging on to your coat tails” through the build. Excellent few tips so far. First time as building a “steel” hull as opposed to the usual timber ones.

The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.

The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal.
